statistically
According to data
Statistically means according to or by means of statistics—the collection, analysis, and interpretation of numerical data.
When something is statistically significant, the data show a pattern unlikely to have occurred by chance.
Statistically speaking, you're more likely to die in a car crash than a plane crash.
The word often introduces claims meant to sound objective or scientific, though the underlying data may be cherry-picked or misleading.
